Liftgate Services
Mobile Liftgate Repair — We Come to Your Yard
Mobile liftgate repair is on-site service for the liftgate on your truck or trailer — done at your yard instead of a shop.
Gate won’t raise or drops too fast? A Heartland Fleet Services technician brings a fully equipped service truck to your location and fixes it where the truck is parked.
A dead liftgate is a dead route, so we get it working again fast and keep your driver on shift.
Liftgate Services
Call us when your liftgate:
Won’t go up, or won’t go down
Raises slowly, jerks, or stalls under load
Runs the motor but won’t lift the platform
Leaks hydraulic fluid or won’t hold position
Won’t respond to the switch, control box, or remote
Has a bent, cracked, or sagging platform
We repair the whole gate — hydraulics, electrical, and structure: pumps, cylinders, wiring, pins, hinges, springs, and platform welding.
Who we serve
We work on every major commercial liftgate brand — Maxon, Waltco, Tommy Gate (Tommy Lift), Anthony, Palfinger / MBB, Thieman, and Leyman — and on every design: rail-lift (rail gate), tuck-under (tuckaway), cantilever, column, and slider gates, on box trucks, straight trucks, cargo vans, and trailers. Running a brand not listed here? Call us — we service and source parts for most makes on the road.
Done Right
Less downtime.
A shop repair costs you the gate, the truck, and the driver — often for a full day. We fix the gate where the truck is parked, and most repairs are done in one visit.
Cleaner pricing.
No tow bill. No bay fee. No paying to shuttle a truck across town.
Batch work.
Several trucks with gate problems? We schedule them together at your yard — no shuttling trucks to a shop one at a time, and each truck keeps working until it's their turn.
What we do
Most gate failures start small — low hydraulic fluid, worn pins, corroded wiring, a weak battery — and all of them show up in an inspection before they strand a route.
We can fold liftgate checks into your regular PM visits:
Cycle the gate under load — slow lifts flag pump and fluid problems early
Check fluid, seals, and hoses; lube pins, hinges, and rollers
Test the motor, solenoid, switches, and charging circuit — the top winter failure points
Inspect the platform, mounts, and capacity decals — DOT inspectors look
